CMS magnet deadline is Friday

Parents of students who will be new to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools have until 5 p.m. Friday to register for the second magnet lottery.

This registration is for parents who want their children to attend a magnet school next year, rather than a neighborhood school.

Students may apply for any magnet program, including those filled during the first magnet lottery. If a program is filled, students are placed on a waiting list, and openings that arise are filled with the next person on the list.
